The news sadly broke about 10 days after star David BowieвЂ™s death in January of 2016, so the excitement was overshadowed by the mourning of fans everywhere. I would never seek to profit from Bowie's death.- Nicole Perlman January 23, 2016 Henson Co & I started talking in late 2014, so the timing of these rumors is so upsetting. ThatвЂ™s when screenwriter Nicole Perlman ( Guardians of the Galaxy, Captain Marvel) started talking about work on a sequel - NOT a reboot: So itвЂ™s no wonder TriStar and The Jim Henson Company didnвЂ™t publicly get anything in motion for a sequel until 2014. The original 1986 film was very much secluded to a loyal but small cult upon release, recouping only about half its budget.

With today's news that director Scott Derrickson ( Doctor Strange) and writer Maggie Levin ( Into the DarkвЂ™s вЂњMy ValentineвЂќ) will be making a Labyrinth sequel for TriStar Pictures, fans of Jim HensonвЂ™s original have to be more excited than David BowieвЂ™s Goblin King doing the 'Magic Dance.' But the road to the greenlight has been long and arduous for the project, so we at SYFY WIRE will attempt to play Hoggle and guide you through the labyrinthine journey to a Labyrinth sequel.ДЇirst off, just be thankful there arenвЂ™t two versions of this article - one that only lies and one that only tells the truth - because even in the back-and-forth of Hollywood development, the Labyrinth sequelвЂ™s path isnвЂ™t too hard to follow if you stick to the facts.
